There is some controversy over Einstein's political views, especially on the issue of Palestine and the creation of a A Jewish State. Many Zionists claim Einstein as one of their own. Einstein, however, was a pacifist, a universalist and abhorred nationalism.[2] The recently published book, Einstein on Israel and Zionism: His Provocative Ideas About the Middle East, by Fred Jerome, (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2009) has brought Einstein's political views on the Middle East back into the spotlight.

The evidence of Einstein's position on Palestine and Zionism is best seen in his own words and actions on the subject. For example, Einstein made a presentation to the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, which was examining the Palestine issue in January 1946 and argued against the creation of a "Jewish State."[3]

Here is a quote from Einstein's testimony before Judge Hutcheson, the American Chairman of the Committee:

Judge Hutcheson: It has been told to our committee by the Zionists that the passionate heart of every Jew will never be satisfied until they have a Jewish state in Palestine. It is contended, I suppose, that they must have a majority over the Arabs. It has been told to us by the Arab representatives that the Arabs are not going to permit such condition as that, they they [sic] will not permit having themselves converted from a majority to a minority.

Dr. Einstein: Yes.

Judge Hutcheson: I have asked these various persons if it is essential to the right or the privilege of the Jews to go to Palestine, if it is essential to real Zionism that a setup be fixed so that the Jews have a Jewish state and a Jewish majority without regard to the Arab view. Do you share that point of view, or do you think the matter can be handled on any other basis?

Dr. Einstein: Yes, absolutely. The state idea is not according to my heart. I cannot understand why it is needed. It is connected with many difficulties and a narrow-mindedness. I believe it is bad.

Judge Hutcheson: Isn't it spiritual and ethical - I do not mean this particular Zionist movement, I do not mean the idea of insisting that a Jewish state must be created - isn't it anachronistic?

Dr. Einstein: In my opinion, yes. I am against it . . .[4]

Albert Einstein wrote in a letter to American Friends of the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel shortly after the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre and referred to the Irgun - led by Menachem Begin, later a Prime Minister of Israel, and the Stern Gang, where Yitzhak Shamir, also a future Prime Minister of Israel, was a member - as a terrorist organization, and refused to support these "misled and criminal people."[5]

Albert Einstein, Sidney Hook, Hannah Arendt and twenty five other prominent Jews, in a letter to The New York Times (December 4, 1948), condemned Menachem Begin's and Yitzhak Shamir's Likud party as "fascist" and espousing "an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism and racial superiority."[6]

In 1950, Einstein published the following statement on the question of Zionism. This speech was originally given to the National Labor Committee for Palestine, in New York, on April 17, 1938 but republished by Einstein after Israel's creation.

I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state. Apart from the practical considerations, my awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight without a Jewish state.[7]

Einstein also turned down the presidency of the state of Israel.[8] In Albert Einstein: A Biography (Viking, 1997), Albrecht Folsing shares the following revelation about the offer to Einstein to become Israel's second president: "While Ben-Gurion was awaiting Einstein's decision, he asked his assistant, the future president Yitzak Navon, over a cup of coffee: 'Tell me what to do if he says yes! I have had to offer the post to him because it's impossible not to. But if he accepts we're in for trouble.'"[9]

Einstein wrote to his stepdaughter Margot after declining the presidency of Israel. He said, "If I were to be president, sometime I would have to say to the Israeli people things they would not like to hear."[10]

Einstein did participate in the Sixteenth Zionist Congress in 1929. The World Zionist Organization (WZ0) mentioned and described Einstein in a document published in 1997. It is rather revealing and WZO ought to know who was and who was not a Zionist.

The Sixteenth Zionist Congress (1929) decided on the establishment of the Jewish Agency for Israel, which would be a joint body of the World Zionist Organization and those known as "non-Zionists" in the belief that all Jews wished to participate in building the National Home. Upon conclusion of the Congress, Board of the Jewish Agency convened. Of its 224 members, 112 were Zionists (members of the World Zionist Organization) including Prof. Chaim Weizmann who was elected as President of the Jewish Agency, Nahum Sokolow, Menahem Ussishkin, Shemaryahu Levin, David Ben-Gurion, Rabbi Uziel; the 112 "non-Zionist" members included Louis Marshall, Shalom Asch, Albert Einstein, Leon Blum, and members of the Rothschild family.[11]

To quote one commentator: "Einstein's opposition to Israel was widely known and reported on during his life. In fact, the myth of Einstein's support of Israel was born the day after Einstein's death in his obituary in The New York Times, which shamelessly wrote that he "championed" the establishment of the Jewish state. This contradicted decades of reporting from the "Paper of Record." Jerome provides some examples, including a 1930 article headlined "Einstein attacks British Zion Policy," a 1938 article stating Einstein was "Against Palestine State" and a 1946 article stating Einstein "Bars Jewish State."[12]

It is clear that Albert Einstein did not support political Zionism and opposed a "Jewish State" based on an ethnic or racial basis. His political views were remarkably consistent and supported universal human rights. He was opposed to war and chauvinistic ethnic nationalism. Today Einstein is a revered as a political and scientific icon. However, many unfortunately forget his wise words on the issue of Palestine and its conflict with political Zionism.

This is an interesting article on Albert Einstein's 1921 visit to America. It touches on Einstein's views on Zionism and the rivalry between Weizmann and Brandeis. However, it does not go into great detail on Einstein's views on Zionism but it is an a well written period piece. The author writes, among other things, as follows: "Among Einstein's queries: With their intellectual gifts, why should Jews create a homeland that was primarily agricultural? Why did it have to be its own nation-state? Wasn't nationalism the problem rather than the solution?."

LIKE AN ORWELLIAN SET OF EYES watching society’s every move, Google — the world’s predominant search engine — is quickly becoming a modern-day Big Brother. Robert Verkaik, law editor for The Independent, described their intent on May 24, 2007 as “setting out to create the most comprehensive database of personal information ever assembled, one with the ability to tell people how to run their lives.”

Similarly, Clint Boulton of Google Watch described the corporation on September 9. “Google conjures an image of science fiction films such as War of the Worlds. The servers are like alien ships covering all of humanity, though instead of harvesting food sources, they are harvesting our search data for better advertising opportunities.”

But their motives aren’t simply financial. Andrew Keen, author of Cult of the Amateur: How the Internet is Killing Our Culture, provided a glimpse into their larger agenda in a June 30 article for the Daily Telegraph. “Back in 2006, when asked where he wanted Google to be in five years time, company CEO Eric Schmidt confessed that he hoped his search engine would be so knowledgeable about all of us that it would know what we wanted to do tomorrow.”

If information is power, Michael Malone’s comments for ABC News on September 5, 2008 put this matter into perspective. “Google’s real business now is not providing a service to its users, but owning the world’s data.” The Independent’s Robert Verkaik is even more blunt in his assessment. “Google wants to know everything — all the knowledge contained on the World Wide Web, and everything about you as a computer user, too.”

When Neil Cavuto of Fox News asked, “How can the public be sure that Google is deleting their private information and not storing it?” CEO Eric Schmidt replied, “Because we say so.” Using technology called Deep Packet Inspection, Google can track not only our search histories, but also our very identity. In the Matrix-like world of these high-tech wizards, a new ‘morality’ emerges. ABC’s Malone pinpoints it. “The empiricism of science and technology supercedes messy human institutions . . . for these young techno-utopians, technology trumps all, even privacy.”

In this context, is a dystopian universe of computer-generated artificial intelligence merely a pipedream, or an actual possibility? On May 16, 2007 Internet commentator Nick Douglas explained how a Google database could actually become ‘self-aware.’ “A computer doesn’t have to be conscious to be powerful. Just teach it relationships, feed it data, and tell it to make connections.” He adds, “This company has history’s finest catalog of human wants, habits and inquiries cataloged by user,” along with “earth satellite imagery, image-recognition technology and ambient-audio tech.”

Even creepier, on July 16, Michel Wester of “Web-Sonic” exposed Google’s use of “easter eggs” (or hidden features) in their graphics. Specifically, he illustrated how “Triforce” symbols were being subliminally embedded on Google’s homepage. (These have since been removed.) In essence, a Triforce is an inverted equilateral triangle inscribed inside an upright triangle. On the surface, this icon appears harmless. But if the inner inverted triangle is expanded, the Triforce transforms into a Star of David — it is also reminiscent of the triangular All-Seeing Eye on the back of our Masonic dollar bills; is this symbolism indicative of an omnipotent Big Brother’s totalitarian control ofour computer screens?

Or, as Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare author Michael Hoffman stated in a November 10 interview: “We are losing our humanity. As our digital gadgets and personal computers evolve to even higher planes of magical realism, the [real] alchemical component in this process is not base metals to gold, it is the gold of humanity coagulated into the basest shadow of what it means to be human.”

The Star of David-Triforce imagery becomes vital when considering that Google’s two founders — Larry Page and Russian Sergey Brin—are both Jewish, as is Senior VP Jonathan Rosenberg. On the other hand, Jewish venture capitalist Michael Moritz—who financed Googleduring its inception—mentored Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt. Equally as important, Schmidt attended both the 2008 and 2009 Bilderberg meetings.

This fact is important because, as computer scientist Daniel Tunkelang wrote for The Noisy Channel on Internet for a substantial majority of Americans.” In this capacity, their political views have a significant sway over what computer users see (and don’t see).

Ex-CIA clandestine services officer Robert David Steele publicly claimed in October, 2006 that Google is “heavily in bed with the Central Intelligence Agency.” Considering the CIA’s incestuous relationship with Israel’s Mossad, it’s now clear why websites that are considered “anti-Jewish” have been targeted and censored. After the are like alien ships covering all of humanity, though instead Anti-Defamation League convinced Google’s Internet monitoring team to make “technical modifications” to its search engine, ADL Director Abraham Foxman beamed, “We are extremely pleased that Google has heard our concerns [about] the unusually high ranking of pedlars of bigotry and anti-Semitism.”

'We did it the Israeli way; we argued our case to death." That's how Shmuel "Mooly" Eden sums up a months-long showdown between senior executives of the high-tech firm that gave Silicon Valley its name and an upstart group of the firm's employees working in an outpost in Haifa. As it turns out, the survival and future prosperity of Intel, the computer-chip manufacturer, would turn on the outcome.

Toronto
- Canada will soon make an important contribution to the cause of
historical accuracy, human rights, and justice. To coincide with last
week’s visit to Ottawa of Ukraine’s president, Viktor Yushchenko, the
Canadian government announced it planned to recognize the mostly
forgotten 1932-1933 genocide in Ukraine.

Ottawa’s
decision was motivated as much by ethnic politics as historic justice:
there are 1.1 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent. But Ottawa still
deserves kudos for doing the right thing.

For eight
decades, the greatest mass murder in modern history has been shamefully
covered up or ignored. I have been repeatedly shocked to receive letters
from young Americans and Canadians of Ukrainian descent saying they had
known nothing about the 1930’s genocide, or `Holdomor,’ until reading
about it in my columns. Hopefully, more will now know.

From
1932-33, Stalin and henchmen, Lazar Kaganovitch and Vyacheslav Molotov,
conducted a merciless campaign to crush resistance by Ukrainian farmers
to communism and collectivization. They isolated Ukraine, then cut off
all food supplies and seeds. Six to nine million Ukrainians died from
the ensuing man-made famine and mass shootings of `anti-State elements’
by secret police execution squads. Cannibalism became common.

Large
numbers of Ukrainians were also murdered during the Great Terror of
1936-38 in which an estimated 2 million Soviet citizens were shot and
the same number died in Stalin’s concentration camps.

In
the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the Soviet penal system reached its
zenith: 5.4 million people were prisoners in the gulag. Some 300,000
more Ukrainians were sent to concentration camps under the supervision
of Commissar Nikita Khrushchev, and 21,259 were killed in Soviet
`pacification’ campaigns and against independence fighters. Other
Ukrainian nationalist leaders were assassinated in Western Europe by
special Soviet hit teams.

During the same period,
Moscow unleashed terror on the tiny Baltic states. From March to May,
1949, 95,000 Lithuanians, 27,000 of them children, were sent to
concentration camps. In total, 120,000 Lithuanians, 50,000 Latvians and
30,000 Estonians went to the gulag where the death rate was 51% per
annum.

While the Western world rightly commemorates
genocide inflicted on Armenians, Europe’s Jews, Cambodians, Rwandans,
and Bosnians, it shamefully shut its eyes to the Ukrainian Holdomor
because it was conducted by a key wartime ally whom President Franklin
Roosevelt hailed as `Uncle Joe.’

Nor has the West ever
acknowledged genocide against other peoples of the Soviet Union. In the
Caucasus, Stalin sent most of the Chechen and Ingush peoples to the
gulag, where 500,000 died. Yet when the children of the survivors fought
for independence from Russia, the West branded them `Islamic
terrorists.’

Up to three million Muslims of the Soviet
Union died at Stalin’s hands, including 1.5 million Kazakhs and Crimean
Tatars. Yet no holocaust memorials exist for them.

Nearly
100,000 Moldovans were murdered in a purge conducted by then Commissar
Leonid Brezhnev, who would later lead the Soviet Union and be feted by
Western leaders. Add to this butcher’s bill Volga Germans, Greeks,
Cossacks, Armenians and Poles.

If we keep demanding
that Germany and Japan atone for their wartime crimes, is it not time
for our governments to finally recognize and atone their alliance with
the biggest mass murderer in history, Josef Stalin, a man whose crimes
exceeded those of Adolf Hitler by a factor of at least three or four
times? Particularly so in the United States, where World War II has
become something of a state religion and is endlessly invoked by
conservatives and neocons to justify foreign military adventures.

Neither
Roosevelt nor Churchill cared to admit they had allied themselves with a
greater criminal than Hitler to wage their `Crusade for Freedom,’ nor
that the price of this compact with the devil was giving Eastern Europe
to the Soviets. In the end, the Allies destroyed a lesser threat,
Germany, and in doing so, created a greater one, the nuclear-armed
Soviet Union.

Roosevelt’s and Churchill’s alliance with
Stalin, whom they knew to be a mass murderer and tyrant, in my view
denies the Allies any claim to have been waging a `just’ or `good war.’
When the lingering clouds of wartime propaganda finally dissipate,
future historians will likely look back on the western Allies as not
much morally superior to Germany or the USSR, though certainly less
murderous.

Communists and leftists everywhere joined in
covering up Stalin’s crimes. For example, to the end of his life, Jean
Paul Sartre kept insisting Stalin’s gulag was a fiction created by
western propaganda. The official Communist Party line was that the
deaths of millions of Ukrainians was simply an unfortunate natural
disaster that also affected other parts of the USSR.

In
North America, intense attention to the Jewish Holocaust tended to push
all other national historic tragedies into the background or completely
eclipse them. The fact that during the 1930’s, many senior officers of
Stalin’s Cheka, or secret police, were Jewish, including Kaganovitch,
led to ferocious reprisals against Ukraine’s Jews in the following
decade. As a result, Ukrainians were permanently branded `anti-Semites;’
their suffering received scant sympathy.

Soviet
dissident Vladimir Bukovsky demanded a Nuremburg trial for all the
Soviet crimes, but unfortunately this will never happen. Most of the
criminals are dead. The Soviet Eichmann, Lazar Kaganovitch, died
peacefully in Moscow in 1991; Molotov died in 1986. In fact, not a
single Soviet official was ever indicted for the crime committed by the
state from the 1920’s to 1953, though many Cheskisti were liquidated
during Stalin’s purges.

Canada’s recognition of this
historic crime is important for two reasons. First, Canada is one of the
world’s most respected nations. Its acknowledgement of the Holdomor
will be heard around the globe. Second, nostalgia for Stalin is on the
rise in today’s Russia. His memory and politics are being rehabilitated.
Russians must to be reminded of his crimes and reign of terror.

In
`les abus de la mémoire,’ the Bulgarian-born French philosopher Tzvetan
Todorov, who studied the Jewish Holocaust, wrote: `Life cannot
withstand death, but memory is gaining in its struggle against
nothingness.’

Editor's Note: The U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations (OSI), led by Mr. Eli Rosenbaum, is a taxpayer-funded agency of the Federal government which never arrests or prosecutes Judaic Communist or Israeli war criminals. It is solely constituted as an extension of Israeli Talmudic vengeance against accused Nazis. This is an unconstitutional use of Federal power and a flagrant example of the manipulation of Big Government to serve the interests of a foreign power, but you won't hear a peep of protest from the Sarah Palins on the Right wing about it. What scares the yarmulkes off the OSI witch-hunters is that the previously sound-asleep goyim of Eastern Europe, who were on the receiving end of the loving caresses of the Judiac Communist war criminals who ruled over them for decades, are starting to demand equal justice, always an affront to the Talmudic mentality. --Michael Hoffman

European anti-Semites are pushing a new line “more pernicious than Holocaust denial” to denigrate the murder of six million Jews, warns veteran Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff. Particularly in the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, prominent politicians are trying to persuade the European Union’s parliament to formally equate Nazi and Communist crimes as equally horrendous genocides.

The not so subtle subtext of this proposal is to point to persecutions by “Jewish Communists” of the patriotic citizens of the three countries during the post-war Soviet domination of the Baltic and East European countries.

A major goal of this campaign is to minimize or rationalize the active collaboration with the Nazis by the police and militia of the Baltic states in the killing of Jews, Zuroff said. Zuroff, who has been tracking down Nazis for 30 years as the point man for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, looked back last week on his triumphs and failures at a press conference and public talk at the Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance, and in a new book, Last Chance: One Man’s Quest to Bring Nazi Criminals to Justice (2009, Palgrave MacMillan).

During his talk surveying the high and low points of his career, Zuroff, a native New Yorker who heads the Wiesenthal Center’s Jerusalem office, opened with some “good news.” During the last two months, four men on his list of the top 10 living men accused of Nazi war crimes have been extradited or readied for trial. They are former concentration camp guard John (Ivan) Demjanjuk; Sandor Kepiro, a former Hungarian policeman accused of participation in the Novi Sad massacre of 4,000 Serbs, Jews and Romas; Charles Zentai , a former Hungarian soldier who allegedly beat an 18-year old Jew to death for not wearing a yellow star; and Heinrich Boere, a leader of a Dutch SS death squad.

Since 2001, there have been 82 successful prosecutions of war criminals, but 702 cases are still on file and time is running out, Zuroff, 61, said. “I expect to continue my work for another three or four years, by which time the last of the war criminals will be gone,” he said. During a separate news conference, Zuroff made public a Wiesenthal Center study ranking more than 30 countries on their willingness and efforts to go after surviving Nazi war criminals. The best showing was by the United States, which has been responsible for 37 of the 82 successful legal actions worldwide against accused war criminals. Much of the credit goes to the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations, whose director, Eli Rosenbaum, participated in the news conference.

In addition to the prosecutions, federal authorities have prevented more than 180 persons implicated in war crimes from entering the United States. Rosenbaum said that “It’s precisely because we have been proactive and so tenacious in pursuing these cases over decades that you see fewer now.” High marks for continued active prosecutions went to former Axis partners Germany and Italy. Poland has also been cooperative, but the kudos ended there. Countries taking little or no action include Norway and Sweden, which cited their statues of limitation as barriers to continued prosecution. Other countries remained largely passive, lacking either the political will or know-how to launch investigations, Zuroff said. These countries include Australia, Austria, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuanian and the Ukraine. Asked to name his most successful and most frustrating cases during his Nazi hunting career, Zuroff named Kepiro in the former category and Dr. Aribert Heim in the latter. Kepiro, one of the alleged organizers of the Novi Sad massacre, was tracked down by Zuroff and his allies along a circuitous trail, running from Argentina to Scotland to Hungary. Heim, though not as well known as his fellow physician and SS officer Dr. Josef Mengele, was just as sadistic in his medical experiments and was nicknamed “Dr. Death” by inmates of the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. Heim, an Austrian himself, was the top target of “Operation Last Chance,” with rewards totaling about $450,000 on his head and the target of police inquiries in 22 countries. After an intensive four-year hunt for Heim by Zuroff, the New York Times reported that Heim had found ultimate refuge in Cairo, had converted to Islam, and died in 1992.

Jewish Butcher of the Ukraine –Stalin’s Brother-In-Law Lazar KaganovichAmerican Times Today
Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich (Kogan), of Jewish descent, was born in Kubany, near Kiev, Ukraine, in 1893. In 1911 he joined the Jewish-founded Communist Party and became involved with the Bolsheviks (Lower East Side New York Jews). Kaganovich took an active part in the 1917 takeover of Christian Russia by Communism and rose rapidly in the Party hierarchy.
From 1925 to 1928, he was first secretary of the party organization in Ukraine and by 1930 was a full member of the Politburo.
Kaganovich was one of a small group of Stalin’s top sadists pushing for very high rates of collectivization after 1929. He became Stalin’s butcher of Christian Russians during the late 1920s and early 1930s when the Kremlin launched its war against the kulaks (small landowners who were Christians) and implemented a ruthless policy of land collectivization. The resulting state-organized forced famine, was a planned genocide and killed 7,000,000 Ukrainians between 1932 and 1933, and inflicted enormous suffering on the Soviet Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan.
Josef Stalin (Dzhugashvili) altered census figures to hide the millions of famine deaths when the Ukraine and northern Caucasus region had an extremely poor harvest in 1932, just as Stalin was demanding heavy requisitions of grain to sell abroad to finance his industrialization program which was on top of enforced collective farming of 1929. Stalin is conservatively estimated to have been responsible for the murder and/or starvation of 40,000,000 Russians and Ukrainians during his reign of terror, while the total deaths resulting from the de-kulaklization and famine, by way of Kaganovich, can be conservatively estimated at about 14,500,000.
On any analysis, Kaganovich, was one of the worst mass murderers in history, and little wonder that during World War II large numbers of Ukrainians greeted the Germans as liberators, with many joining the Waffen-SS to keep Communism from enslaving all of Europe.

South Africa deported an Israeli airline official last week following allegations that Israel’s secret police, the Shin Bet, had infiltrated Johannesburg international airport in an effort to gather information on South African citizens, particularly black and Muslim travellers. Continue

Hello everyone, wishing you all a great upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

We now have a podcast for The Ugly Truth, found here. I anticipate 3 shows a week minimum and with great guests. At the moment the programs are pre-recorded but I anticipate going live (along with call-ins) in the next month or so.

Also, Phil Tourney (survivor of Israel’s deliberate and premeditated attack on his ship USS Liberty 42 years ago) and I have also started a podcast version of the Liberty Hour radio program that can be found here. We anticipate broadcasting 2 nights a week and just finished our first program that you can listen tohere.

Again, wishing all of you (or at least those of you of good will) a great Thanksgiving holiday.

A Word From Sgt. Raymond Turner, USA

"If I were the 'Stalin of America' most of our govt and media would be shot for treason or sent off to a FEMA camp or put to work on infrastructure projects. AIPAC and the Rothschild’s Federal Reserve would be no more. The debt would be erased over night. Lobbies and all political donations outlawed. MOSSAD agents in America would be shot on sight. And if Israel didn’t like it, some of our 81 nuclear attack subs and 11 carriers would finally be put to good use.John Hagee would simply be put on a starvation diet. Pam Geller sent to a concubinage in Saudi Arabia. Alan Dershowitz and Joe Lieberman parachuted into Afghanistan wearing IDF officer’s uniforms and MOSSAD ID. George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld taken to Nevada and tied feet-first to wild stallions. Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh cast adrift on a life raft in the western Atlantic at 20 degrees north in the middle of Hurricane season. The entire lot of neo-cons involved in 9-11 would be loaded onto a remote control jet with just enough fuel to make it 500 miles off the east coast at 30,000′. These are only a few of the just ends for the traitorous agents of Israel.This country would be cleaned up in short order."Sgt. Raymond Turner, USA
